Ever wish you could capture the people and places you love confidently and accurately?
You dream of pulling out your sketchbook anytime, capturing what you see with ease and accuracy. But when the moment comes, doubt takes over. You hesitate, and your sketchbook stays shut, gathering dust instead of memories.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Imagine sketching anything you see, effortlessly.
No second-guessing. No frustration. Just creativity flowing freely from your pencil.
With the right guidance, techniques and a willingness to try, you can create sketches that you will be proud of even if you think you lack talent.
The Addictive Sketchers Movement is Perfect For You if:
- You’ve put everyone else first for years but now it’s time to prioritise yourself and put your art first.
- You've always wanted to learn how to sketch but felt intimidated and just didn't know where to start
- You're an artist in other mediums who wants to improve their drawing skills
- You wish you could pick up your sketch book anytime and sketch something you would be proud to show your friends
- You worry you’ve lost “it,” even though your love for drawing and sketching never actually left.
If you resonate with any of this, you're in the right place!
Whether you're a beginner who wants a friendly, no-pressure way to start sketching....
Or a hobbyist who love drawing but struggle with consistency or confidence
Or a returning artist who feels rusty and wants to reconnect with their sketchbook
Or a professional artist who wants to loosen up and refresh their fundamentals..
Becoming a member of The Addictive Sketchers Movement will help you make rapid improvement in your sketching skills.
Hi! I'm Adebanji!
I’ve been sketching since I was six years old, and I still get just as excited about putting pencil to paper today as I did back then. Sketching is my first love, and helping people learn how to sketch accurately and confidently is what I do best.
I’m honoured to be the President of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in the United Kingdom, and I'm also an author of three books: The Addictive Sketcher, Addictive, and Painting People and Places.
I enjoy presenting art documentaries on the BBC’s The One Show, sharing my love for drawing and painting with audiences around the world.
When I’m not sketching, you’ll most likely find me singing at the top of my lungs, it’s my other great passion 🎶🎵!
I can’t wait to have you join me for Sketch Week and share this creative journey together.
I've helped thousands of other artists like you!
What Makes The Addictive Sketchers Movement different from learning from FREE Youtube Tutorials?
You can absolutely learn about drawing on YouTube. You can watch endless tutorials.
You can buy another online course.You can save videos to a playlist and tell yourself you’ll practise later.
But here’s the problem…
That’s like trying to learn to play the piano by watching random clips of different teachers, without ever having a lesson plan, feedback, or someone correcting your hand position.
You might pick up a few things. But real progress feels slow. And you never quite know if you’re doing it right plus you don't any feedback or accountability. You're on your own!
Unlike random tutorials on YouTube, The Addictive Sketchers Movement is structured and interactive.
- You get critiques
- You get accountability
- You get feedback
- You get community
In The Addictive Sketchers Movement, you will be able to:
- Build the confidence to start drawing anywhere, anytime without overthinking every line or worrying that it won’t look right.
- Capture scenes, people and moments in real time with clarity and structure, even in busy environments.
- See angles clearly and simplify what you’re looking at so your drawings finally look accurate and intentional.
- Use tone and value in a way that gives your sketches dimension and power, instead of flat, lifeless results.
- Look at your sketchbook with pride instead of frustration, and feel proud to share your drawings with your friends and family.
- Understand how to apply strong drawing foundations whether you’re using pencil, pen, watercolour, or mixed media.
You DO NOT have to be talented!
Whether you're a beginner or accomplished artist, there's room for you here.
That's why I'm so excited to share my exclusive sketching membership community that's dedicated to helping you grow and develop your sketching skills.

What's included in The Addictive Sketchers Movement

MONTHLY CRITIQUES
You’ll be able to submit your sketches and receive thoughtful feedback that helps you see what’s working and what needs improvement. Personal critique accelerates your progress because it helps you correct mistakes and strengthen your skills much faster than learning alone.

If you've put your art on hold for decades due to family, careers or just life...this is your opportunity to put yourself first and choose your love for drawing.
Imagine being able to capture your grandchild or loved ones accurately and confidently?
It's not about being perfect. It's about embracing the imperfections, the quirks, the nuances that make your sketches uniquely yours.
Just look at some of the progress existing students are making:
Feedback From My Students
Nina had never drawn before, now look at what she's able to do after being in The Addcitive Sketchers Movement
Conny has made incredible progress with her sketches since joining The Addictive Sketchers Movement.
Jill is very happy with the progress she's made since joining The Addictive Sketchers Movement
Judith's sketches has improved so much since joining The Addictive Sketches Movement.
Don't let your doubts get in the way!
Are you having any of these thoughts?
I'm not going to have the time to sketch
It's not about not having the time, it's about making time for the things you love to do.
If sketching is important to you and it's something you really want to do, you will create the time for it.
Maybe you're thinking "I'm never going to get better at sketching even if I do all the lessons."
If you don't try, you'll never know. If you're sitting on the fence, you'll definitely not get better. You've got to trust yourself that you'll improve and with my support, I'm very confident you will.
The best case scenario is that you improve your sketching and take your drawings to the next level. The worst case scenario is that you don't like it and you can cancel within 14 days and get a full refund.
Think you're not talented enough?
What's required to improve your sketching isn't talent, it's effort. As long as you're willing to learn and put in the work, you can do this!
And maybe you're worried about technology?
Don't worry, all our lessons are done on zoom and the replays are shared on our website which is very easy to navigate. If you want to interact with other students and get feedback and encouragement, we have a community on Facebook you can join. This is optional.
Or maybe you're feeling out of your depth because it's been a long time since you sketched?
We got you. Myself and the other addictive sketchers in the community all want you to succeed. We support each other with lots of encouragement. As long as you're willing to practice and receive feedback, I'm very sure you will surprise yourself with the quality of work you're capable of.
You can cancel at any time and will never be billed again.

Got Questions?
Is enrollment open all year round?
No. Enrollment for The Addictive Sketchers Movement closes on Sunday March 22nd, 2026 at 10pm UK time (5pm New York time).
We only open the doors a few times each year so that we can:
- Maintain quality within the community
- Support members properly
If you miss this enrollment window, you’ll need to wait until we reopen again later in the year.
If you’re thinking about joining… this is your opportunity.
What if I can’t attend the live sessions — will I fall behind??
No, you won't! All live sessions are recorded and uploaded to your Members Hub, so you can watch them at a time that suits you.There’s no “falling behind” inside The Addictive Sketchers Movement. This isn’t a rigid course with deadlines. It’s an ongoing membership designed to fit around your schedule.
I don’t have much time. Will I still benefit?
Absolutely! Because this membership is designed to fit around your life, not compete with it.
All lessons are available on replay inside your Members Hub, so you can learn completely at your own pace.
There’s no pressure to “keep up.” No falling behind. No rigid schedule.
You can:
- Watch a demo in the evening after work
- Break a lesson into smaller sections across the week
- Sketch for 15-20 minutes at a time
- Revisit sessions whenever you need a refresher
Whether you have a few short sessions each week or longer blocks at the weekend, you can progress steadily. The self-paced structure means you can improve without feeling overwhelmed.
Where will the live sessions take place?

What is the cost to join The Addictive Sketchers Movement?
It's only £40 or $55 USD per month to join the movement. That’s less than the cost of one private art lesson, yet you receive ongoing demos, critiques, structured learning and community support.
.
What if I'm a beginner, can I still benefit from this?
Absolutely! You do not need to be “naturally talented.” You simply need the willingness to practise. We’ve had complete beginners start from scratch and go on to create sketches they never thought possible — because they followed the process and stayed consistent. Many members start from scratch and quickly surprise themselves with their progress.
What if I join and realise it’s not for me?
You’re protected by a 14-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. Join, explore the lessons, attend a session, experience the community. If you decide it’s not right for you, simply email us within 14 days for a full refund. After that, you can cancel anytime and you won’t be billed again. There’s no long-term contract and no pressure to stay.
Who is this for?
This membership is for:
- Beginners who want a clear starting point
- Artists returning after years away
- Painters who want stronger drawing foundations
- Urban sketchers wanting more confidence
- Creatives who want structure and accountability
If you want to improve your sketching in a supportive environment — this is for you.
It feels like this is for talented and experienced artists? Will I be out of my depth?
Not at all. This is not a competitive environment. It’s a growth environment. You’ll find members at different stages — from beginners to experienced artists refining their foundations.The focus isn’t perfection. It’s progress. If you’re willing to learn and practise, you will fit right in.
Will I get personal feedback on my work?
Yes. You’ll have opportunities to submit your sketches for critique. This is one of the most powerful parts of the membership, because feedback accelerates growth dramatically.
Do I need expensive materials?
No, you don’t. A simple sketchbook and basic drawing tools like pencils and erasers are enough to get started. We also have a list of recommended materials but they are not essential.
How quickly will I see improvement?
Many members notice improvements within the first few weeks, especially in how they see angles and proportions. Long-term growth depends on consistency, but when you follow the process, progress is noticeable and encouraging.
What if I start and lose motivation again?
That’s exactly why community and structure matter. Motivation fades when you’re learning alone.
Inside the membership, you have:
- Weekly rhythm
- Shared challenges
- Encouragement
- Accountability
That makes it much easier to stay consistent.
How long do I need to stay?
There’s no minimum commitment so you stay as long as it serves you. Some members join for a few months to rebuild foundations. Others stay long-term because they love the structure and community.
You’re in control.
How do I cancel?
Simply email us and we’ll take care of it for you. You can cancel anytime and you won’t be billed again. There are no awkward conversations, no hidden steps, and no long-term contracts. We want you to stay because you love being part of The Addictive Sketchers Movement, not because you feel locked in.
What is your refund policy?
You’re covered by a 14-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If you join and decide it’s not right for you within the first 14 days, simply let us know and you’ll receive a full refund. After 14 days, you can still cancel anytime, you just won’t be billed again.
I have a question that hasn't been addressed here.
Please email support@adebanjialade.co.uk and a member of our team will assist you.
You can cancel at any time and will never be billed again.
